Five minutes have passed after 2 O’clock, so we write five past two.


                                                                                               60      5
                    Count the minutes all around the clock                               55                 10

                                 by 5s, starting at 12.
                                                                                      50                        15
                      The numbers outside the clock show

                                        the count.                                    45                        20

                                                                                         40                  25
                                                                                               35      30


            So,  we  use  skip  counting  by  5s  to  find  the  time.  There  are  many  ways  of

            reading and telling the time.

                                                                       5                                    5
                                    5
                                                                            10                                   10


                                                                                                                   15


                                                                                                                 20

                                                                                                           25

                     Three - five                         Three - ten                    Three - twenty five

                         3 : 05                               3 : 10                               3 : 25


             Five minutes past three              Ten minutes past three               Twenty - five minutes

                                                                                               past three


            When the minute hand has moved past 6, we say the time in two ways.



                                                              1 : 35

                                                     5                                              5

                                                          10                                   10
                Thirty five                                           Twenty five
                                                            15                               15
             minutes past 1                                          minutes to 2

                                                          20                                   20

                                       35            25                                             25
